Colourful character entertaining

He is arguably one of the most outrageous characters to appear on breakfast viewing and his comments divided the country and almost ignited an international incident. Reporter Aden Miles says Paul Henry's memoir, What was I Thinking is packed with stories from his career and is flooded with his trademark wit
 
What was I Thinking tells stories of his childhood and his extensive career in journalism that is a compelling read and gives clear insight into who this man really is.

It is no surprise that Paul Henry is an individual with cemented beliefs and he is audacious. He recounts his work as an international correspondent interviewing politicians and celebrities; he even witnessed Mother Theresa's funeral.

I was surprised to discover that he was thrown into jail in Iraq.

The book also allows him to speak personally, detailing his efforts at drama school, working at the BBC, Radio NZ as well as running for Parliament.

Whether you like him or not, you have to admit that he knows how to tell an entertaining story.
I have a feeling Paul Henry doesn't care if people like his book or not.
